A conference of the Indian Federation of Preventive and Social Medicine was recently held in Kolkata, West Bengal. AIIMS doctors and expert doctors from all over the country participated in this conference. In a research paper presented at the conference, ‘One in four Indians suffer from hypertension.
Among those affected, only ௭ percent of women and ௬ percent of men take medication regularly. Others suffer from various diseases because they do not take medicines properly’, it has been reported.
In this regard, Union Health and Family Welfare Ministry Deputy Director General, Sudarshan Mandal said: We are improving the medical infrastructure in the entire country. We take the necessary medicine to people’s residences. A program called ‘The India Hypertension Control Initiative’ is being implemented to monitor blood pressure and ensure proper administration of drugs.
Through this, by the year 2025, the central government has set a target to reduce high blood pressure by 25 percent. There are no symptoms of high blood pressure. If you don’t check from time to time, you will never find it. Although the treatment for this is simple, the number of people who fully follow the medical regimen is low. Therefore, the general public should periodically get tested for high blood pressure and take proper medication. He said this.
